We present our second generation tactile sensor for the Shadow Dexterous Hand's palm. We were able to significantly improve the tactile sensor characteristics by utilizing our latest barometer-based tactile sensing technology with linear (R2 ≥ 0.9996) sensor output and no noticeable hysteresis. The sensitivity threshold of the tactile cells and the spatial density were both dramatically increased....
